Having the No. 1 pick in a snake draft comes with the obvious drawback of having to play catch-up with everyone else at the Round 2/3 turn, which presents much tougher draft decisions. Are there any trustworthy RB2s left? Are there still elite WR1s worth drafting, and can you afford to go without a WR in your first three picks? Is it too early to go for a QB or TE? Ah, the dilemmas of the 2013 Peterson owner.

With the security of having A.D. on board as a sure-fire RB1, I was willing to take a few more early-round risks (perhaps too many). Let's take a look at how the rest of my draft played out:

2. Andre Johnson, WR, Texans (24). After crossing Julio Jones, Demaryius Thomas and Dez Bryant off my draft board in the second round, I decided on Johnson instead of Larry Fitzgerald as my WR1. It was close, but banking on another great season from Johnson seems a little safer than hoping for a bounce-back from Fitz. In a three-WR format, I wasn't even thinking about QB or TE here even though Tom Brady and Jimmy Graham were both available.

3. Darren McFadden, RB, Raiders (25). Here's the first of those early-round risks. DMC has burned plenty of owners in the past, including myself, but he's a first-round talent when healthy. This is a dangerous fantasy backfield -- at least for the eight games McFadden is healthy.

4. Rob Gronkowski, TE, Patriots (48). It didn't take long for the second huge gamble of my draft, but the risk matches the reward at the end of the fourth round. Gronk is still no lock for Week 1, so in a real draft I would have to make sure to grab a reliable backup TE earlier than usual as insurance, making this a slightly more expensive pick.

5. Matthew Stafford, QB, Lions (49). Brady went before my picks, so I took a shot on Stafford's bounce-back appeal. I was tempted to wait longer on a QB, but after watching Russell Wilson, Colin Kaepernick, Andrew Luck, Robert Griffin III, Tony Romo and Andy Dalton go before my turn came back, I was glad I grabbed Stafford early rather than settling for Eli Manning, the best available QB at the end of Round 6. Do you disagree? Either way, file that Round 5/6 QB run away for your drafts.

6. Stevie Johnson, WR, Bills (72). Because I grabbed a TE and QB relatively early, I was forced to settle for WR value in the middle rounds. But this is still pretty good value, as Johnson is a steady, real-life No. 1 receiver.

7. Jeremy Maclin, WR, Eagles (73). Maclin fit the same "value WR" theme. Eagles teammate DeSean Jackson is getting all the preseason love, but why can't Maclin also have a great season in Chip Kelly's offense?

8. Shane Vereen, RB, Patriots (96). Vereen isn't exactly the safest McFadden backup, but I like hisbreakout potential this year. With Danny Woodhead and Aaron Hernandez both gone, Vereen is in for a significant uptick in workload, particularly in the passing game. Woodhead was plenty productive in this role, and Vereen is a more talented back.

9. Daryl Richardson, RB, Rams (97). There's not much interesting about me taking Richardson, who is currently listed atop the Rams backfield depth chart, but teammates Zac Stacy (No. 98 pick) and Isaiah Pead (99) went immediately after him with the next two picks -- one of the strangest things I've ever seen in a fantasy football draft. Any of these three could be starting in Week 1. I'm obviously pulling for Richardson, but was planning to scoop up either Stacy or Pead much later.

10. Darrius Heyward-Bey, WR, Colts (120). DHB has great upside playing with Luck, even if he'll have to fight with fellow deep threat T.Y. Hilton for targets. He's worth a flier in the double-digit rounds.

11. Michael Vick, QB, Eagles (121). Vick is likely to start gaining steam in real fantasy football drafts once we see him starting under center in the Eagles' new-look offense this preseason. As long as he's still being drafted as a QB2 or low-end QB1, Vick is worth the risk.

12. Brandon LaFell, WR, Panthers (144). These next two picks almost put me to sleep they were so boring, but at least LaFell has some potential if he keeps the No. 2 WR job. Based on his per-game averages last year in 14 contests, LaFell was on pace to be a high-end WR4.

13. Michael Bush, RB, Bears (145). Bears starter Matt Forte is reportedly in for a heavier workload this season under new head coachMarc Trestman, which means a higher probability of injury. That makes Bush a nice bench stash (and a must-have handcuff), even after last year's disappointing, injury-plagued campaign.

14. Broncos defense/special teams (168). Defenses had already been coming off the board for a few rounds, but the Broncos, our third-ranked unit for 2013, still slipped. Just a reminder that you can usually find good value in late-round defenses. If not, play the matchup game early in the season until a breakout emerges. (Editor's note: this draft was conducted before Von Miller's four-game suspension.)

15. Stepfan Taylor, RB, Cardinals (169). After a few boring picks, I needed some upside. Taylor offers that, as the rookie could force his way into more playing time if Rashard Mendenhall doesn't establish himself as the workhorse.

17. Blair Walsh, K, Vikings (193). Another bonus that comes with the No. 1 spot in a snake draft with an odd number of rounds is that you should get your pick of the kicker litter in the final round. Walsh led all kickers with 35 field goals as a rookie in 2013, making 92 percent of his attempts.
